Hello all,
Does anyone know of any standard system for receiving notifications
from systemd for unit state changes? I currently use Monit for the
monitoring of many processes, and it'll e-mail me when things
happen (e.g. a process was restarted). Since switching to systemd,
it's felt a bit silly that for several processes, I'm having Monit
monitor them simply because systemd is unable to tell me it
restarted a unit. Monit isn't actually required to keep those
processes alive as it once was, because systemd can do that.

Hey Paul,
Check out OnFailure=
[Unit]
Description=HTTP Service
OnFailure=mail-root@http.service
...
The mail-root@.service is a generic oneshot service that mails you
some stuff.
[Unit]
Description=Mailer
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/path/to/my/mail-script %i
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And your mail-script is somthing like...
#!/usr/bin/env sh
systemctl status ${1}.service | \
mail -s Failed Service: ${1} ad...@example.com
See:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html#OnFailure=
Thanks ushi, that's certainly something. It looks promising for custom unit
files, but not
so great for catching unexpected unit failures. I'll definitely keep that
one in mind,
though.
You could use unit overrides[0] to add the OnFailure to provided
units. So should be able to set it up for any service you are
interested in receiving notifications for, I would assume.

Re: [arch-general] First Time Arch w/ Gnome Installed
2010/1/26 Carlos Williams carlosw...@gmail.com: This is my 1st time ever installing Arch Linux with GDM / Gnome desktop environment. I did not install 'gnome-extra' package because I don't want all the useless applications. I prefer to only install what I need. I am have been using an Ubuntu 10.4 workstations and got everything working on my new Arch system. It is very fast even installed the latest nVidia drivers from their site. My only issue I have is the fonts look horrible. I did go to 'System Preferences Appearance Fonts tab' and set the fonts to 'Sub Pixel Smoothing' for LCD's but I am missing the smoothness and glossiness (Anti Aliasing) that Ubuntu had. My Arch fonts still look very rough and 1993'ish. I don't know what I can do to make my Gnome / Desktop environment appear more polished and cleaner. Do you guys have any suggestions? Do I need a specific WM or special decorative package? I work a lot on my workstation and need it to be pleasing to the eyes. The fonts I have don't make my system look very appealing. I know it sounds stupid but I really like my DE to be pleasing on my eyes since I use if for hours at a time... Thanks for any help! If you open the Fonts tab in the Appearance preferences, and click Details, another window opens that allows you to set the font hinting. Ubuntu has it set to Slight by default so changing this might help how the fonts look. Worth a try at least! Damien

Re: [arch-general] A universal Operating System API - why don't we have it?
2009/12/18 RedShift redsh...@pandora.be: Hi all It dawned on my that lots of industries have standards and companies generally keep to them. For example slabs of aluminium have standard sizes, building materials have well defined specifications, or take electrical components: there's a huge list of standardized components. You can expect between 220 and 240 VAC from your wall socket, fuses have standard formats and ratings, 1 meter here is exactly the same as 1 meter in another country, etc... Even CD's, which have been around for decades by now, have always been created using the same format (albeit extended somewhat, over time, but a normal CD pressed now should still play in a CD player that's 20 years old). It allows for a very competitive market where choices are made based on price, quality, availability, etc... Why doesn't the computer business have something similar? Sure processors are interchangeable in a limited way, we use standardized RAM, standard interfaces for accessing our peripherals, etc... But not when it comes to software. Why don't we have one universal API that works on every operating system? Yes there is libc, the language C is defined in some way, but I'm talking about stuff that would make applications 100% portable. Things like enumerating all hardware devices, configuring a network interface, drawing a window, ejecting the CD-ROM drive, getting notified about new hardware plugged in, etc... It's different on every operating system. You cannot write a driver for Linux and expect it to work on FreeBSD. You cannot write an application for windows and expect it to work on Linux. When you buy a piece of hardware you usually hope for the best that it'll work out-of-the-box including all extra features. So why is that? Why hasn't someone stepped up and even try and create a universal operating system API? Is it because the computer business is still a child in some way, compared to other industries? Just a thought. Glenn Isn't this what POSIX was, albeit quite old now, but still a standard?
Re: [arch-general] Bind 9.6.1-1 patched against dynamic update ddos?
2009/7/29 Fredrik Eriksson fredrik.eriks...@gigabit.nu: Hi, I've seen that there's a dynamic update ddos attack that is widely available on the net and after looking for the solution it seems that bind's latest patch (9.6.1-P1) solves this problem. So my question is more like this, is extra/bind 9.6.1-1 in the repository the same as bind 9.6.1-P1? The build date of the current package in extra/ says the 18 July but the homepage of BIND says the latest patch was published the 28 July. Best regards Fredrik Eriksson Judging by the Ubuntu package version it is P2 that fixes the current ddos issue, not read too much into it though so I could be wrong.
